In 1865, Indiana State University began classes as many other
future regional state universities would: as a "normal school," a
school that specialized in training teachers, usually in one- or
two-year programs. By 1933, Indiana State had won the name Teachers
College and had begun offering graduate-level education. In A
History of Indiana State University, Dan Clark explores the history
of Indiana State's institutional transformation against the
backdrop of the amazing expansion of public education and the scope
of higher education in the United States during this period.
Starting with the origins of the normal school and the need for
professional teachers to help construct the educational
infrastructure of Indiana, Clark examines how the faculty and
students pushed the school to conform to increasingly popular
traditional collegiate ideals, broadening their curriculum and
student extracurricular life (athletics and Greek life), until by
the 1920s Indiana State had transformed itself into a teachers
college. A History of Indiana State University offers an invaluable
guide to the history of this beloved Indiana institution, and
details the underappreciated impact that normal schools had in
providing an educational opportunity to less privileged aspiring
students.
